Melee Multiboxing a Reality!

[Kromtor]

Well they're nerfing pallies hard to hurt a prot/holy hybrid spec and it's going to screw up rets as well unfortunately. Read more about it on my post and voice your support for them not killing off the already endangered-in-5's species:

is it simple to melee box? how then any1 tell me?

[Ogloo]

haha its not really clicking for me, yeah i know how to do it and got the palies to lvl 3, but uhhhhhggg no RAF, its death, and not so fun

im thinking 4 enhance shammies, just dualspec my shammies, when i need to serious arena ele, then screwing around getting gear, enhance ;0000

Well, if your main spec is say 1850 (just picking a number)...
And you have all the gear you can buy for your rating.

Then you can gear your off-spec up some.
Most likely with gear far superior to a brand new team, of the same class.

So you effectively have a huge gearing head start.

So.... maybe I'm the only one who didn't know this, but....

I just discovered that if I target a dead mob with my main and hit assist on my slaves, then hit my interact with target button, they will loot the target. Godsend for collection quests! It even happens that whichever slave still needs the item will get it, even if a different slave gets the loot cash/items.

Major time saver over having to switch windows over and over to loot.

Edit: clarity

intresting i will try melee again, those who do melee box and having real success we are listening and waiting for more knowledge of your experience!

I have only been multi-boxing for about a couple of months now after about a year of browsing these forums, I'm a total newb but I have experienced great and rewarding success. I was too new to realize that multi-boxing melee was a problem, and I have been doing very well with my three paladins.

I am farming reg northrend dungeons, and starting to work the bugs out on farming heroics. Currently, I can run all three as ret and my guild even lets me attend runs with them as three dps slots. I can also use one to tank and two to dps for helping out guild alts or new recruits farm badges on slow nights when we need people. My main paladin is also our guilds main tank, and I have ran as main tank and ret dps in some naxx emblem runs.

I am currently working out my kep maps to tank, dps, and heal all at once, and I plan on farming heroics.

Using three ret pally's is extremely efficient as three Divine Storms provides a very nice amount of passive healing along with seal of light. Round robin Hammer of Justice, is a nice stunlock for those select mobs that may be immune to stuns but are still prone to a spell interrupt. Three Divine Protection with Divine Sacrifice round robin for uber mitigation of damage spikes. And much more make three pally's a nice combination for anyone wanting to attempt a pally melee team.

I currently farm lvl 60 raids for cash, mounts, and fun. Three ret pally's plow through all this content like a hot knife through butter. I had been solo farming these instances on my main paladin, but with three I can do them all in a day where I used to take three to four days to complete.

The information provided on this forum has been invaluable, and I thank everyone for their contributions and look forward to the continued evolution and sophistication of this form of mmo play.
